Had a busy weekend in
the garage doing work on my silver Traveller. I haven't ridden it
since September last year, but have been doing numerous jobs on it
(tidying up and fitting higher handlebars mostly), and as the weather
has started to improve a bit, I thought it was time to get it back on
the road.
Some years ago I'd
fitted an LED light in place of the reflector on the rear mudguard.
I'd wired the 'rear light' function to the existing rear light, and
wired the 'brake light' function to a switch so I could use it as a
rear fog light. It's wired so that it will only come on when the
lights are on and has a small LED on it.
Last weekend I'd run
the bike and a pool of coolant had appeared under it! Turned out that
the radiator to expansion tank hose had split. I'd replaced the
original about 12 years ago, but the replacement had started to
crack. While I had the fairing off I painted up a few bits that got a
bit scruffy and gave the bike a service.
So that's the bike
ready for its MOT (annual safety test) and the summer (when it
arrives).
